I had the pleasure of hosting a Sip and See with friends for a precious family this past weekend. We were so excited because everything seemed to be falling in place perfectly…I loved how the invites turned out, the food was the perfect combination of sweet and savory, the mimosa bar turned out just like I had pictured it in my head, the dessert table was a perfect shade of pink….we even had pink popcorn! We were organized, unified and ready to open the door to guests with plenty of time to spare. This was truly a miracle! I fly by the seat of my pants in pretty much EVERYTHING I do. Just when we thought all was well in the Sip and See universe, the ugly truth reared it’s head. Sooooo… you see that sweet little pink cake sitting right there so innocently on the table? It was a masterpiece of Pink Champagne cake, three layers, with two layers of cheesecake delicately placed in between those luscious cake layers. It was topped with a pale pink cream cheese icing. It was hiding a deep, dark secret. As I was cutting into that innocent looking cake, it started to fight me as I got down towards the bottom layers. The knife slid easily through the first three layers and then it just stopped. I was baffled. As I struggled to pull out the first slice it was a mangled mess. I assumed the first piece always looks a little ragged, so I proceeded to cut a second piece. It still fought me. Ok, I thought, third times a charm. Well, that is when the ugly secret was revealed…I failed to remove the layer of parchment paper from the bottom layer of the cheesecake! How could I have done that? So what was I to do? I improvised and just served the top three layers and all was well. The cake was a HUGE hit. Thanks to a couple of glasses of champagne, I was able to laugh off the mistake and enjoy the rest of the party. The moral of this story is simple…go with the flow. Mistakes are going to happen even when everything is planned out perfectly.This sweet little family was tickled to share their baby girl with friends and family AND have a little rest for their arms for a few hours. Congratulations Lance and Kayla on your sweet baby girl! I am blessed to have been a part of your celebration. XOXO Love you!
